We had arrived at our hotel in Hilversum the day before. In the morning we enjoyed the breakfast buffet at the hotel. Paul and I drove part of the ANWB Zeebodemroute in the province of Flevoland. This time of year tulip fields abound in Flevoland. We had lunch at Danny’s Marknesse with a Schnitzel plate and a Spicy Chicken Pieces plate. At Fishrestaurant De Kaap in Urk we shared a plate of kibbeling. Which isn’t the only Dutch Traditional Food we had during our vacation.
